Days Gone By: A Tribute to Texas
Dust clinging to skin, shaken sand out of hair
Arid landscape swept over by a painter's brush of beaten blue
Yearlings sprint into the shadows, following a mother's lead
Sloping hills tumble on to the horizon
Grass reaches knees, gracefully swaying in the wind
Oil smells fill barren pastures with the fragrance of wealth
Native beliefs live on, traditions kept by time
Ever growing pride for an old Spanish church
Blue cloudless skies will forever remain cause for
Yearning for home and the rolling grassy plains
*Note: This poem is an acrostic.
